Jack Bruce - Escape to the Royal Wood (on Ice) lyrics
[Jack Bruce - Escape to the Royal Wood on Ice lyrics]
My bullets have a silver lining
Wind me up and set me free
My uniform's bright
Trumpets blaring, princes sharing
Swords are flashing, kingdoms falling
When you're dancing in the ballroom moonlight
Feet quicksilver lace My Lady
When you lose yourself inside the city jungle
Then you're pretty sure of
Finding a hiding place
Come stepping through my head
My cloak will give us both protection
Set me up upon your wall
I'll dance all night long
Cannons roaring, banners soaring
Lances flashing, blood is pouring?
When you tremble at the dragons roaring
At the forest's door I'll hold
You close My Lady
When your house shakes at
The jetplanes' howling
Causing mousequakes in your cornflakes
Then I'll be by your side
When you're knocking on the
Doors of death and
Rocking wolves in cradles scared of
Losing your Secret Rose
Accept my handkerchief
Tears shining 'cause the show is over
Take my arm and walk with me
Together we're free
Brakes are screeching, statues preaching
Hoardings flashing, empires crashing
And the time is getting much too late
For more than dreaming new schemes
For making the darkness bright
When you're moving in the ballroom moonlight
Feet quicksilver lace My Lady
When you tremble at the dragons roaring
At the forest's door I'll hold
You close My Lady
And the time is getting much too late
For more than dreaming new schemes
For making the darkness bright
And the dreams are getting much too bad
For more than trying to find a
Mountain to put them right
